Everly Brothers - Love Is Strange

[corradogirli]

bäh..... buddy holly version it's mutch better ...

[vikingmanMN]

Buddy and the Brothers were the best of friends!

[cokeworthy]

theyre so nsync, awesome duo.probably the best duo. i'd have to think about it

[TheHeartmindsoul]

Pure,melodious and powerful sound flows from the voices and guitars of these brothers! This is one of my favorite American songs and the Everly brothers' rendition of it is superb.Thank you for posting this gem,Gas&!

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

When the rain comes they run and hide their head

[allanscot1]

Brilliant! My only slight complaint is they missed out the little talking bit in the middle (hey Donald........What Phil?) I know that bit is slightly corny, but it adds to the charm of the record. This was their last UK top 20 hit, reaching no.11 in 1965. Great clip.

[crazylazy45]

thank you thank you tjank you although I am only 24 yrs. old I was raised on this stuff they don't make music like this anymore

[crabapple43]

im a big fan of the everly brothers, since the 50s, once a member of the fan club! im 68 and still love them, god bless them both! ROCK ON DON AND PHIL.

[justmemother]

Paulsauk, hee hee!

[GraceUnderPressure1]

I don't know how many people from the UK listen to The Everly Brothers on here but I am from the UK and I watched the X Factor last year where the 'group', who's name escapes me lol, were getting through every week, closer to winning, everyone loved them, but could they harmonise? NO! Of course not! I was saying to my dad each week "I hope they harmonise for once, not just all singing the same note" It's so annoying, and even then these supposed 'singers' can't sing that well!

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

@GraceUnderPressure1 one direction is the groups name

[bellavita316]

OMG these two are soooooooooo cute lol.

[africanikki]

luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv ittttttttttttttttttttt,  and Iam an 80's babe:)

[ade425mxy]

Id like to restore this.  Anyone have better elements?

[dunx1964]

Happy Birthday Phil Everly...same day as mine 19th of January.

[tiranchula]

What Harmony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[PaulSAUK]

Man what i'd give to have hair

[ZiachRoby86]

WoooooooW 5 *****

[onlylenaful]

será que ninguém tem uma gravação melhor que esta para postar , a música é tão linda , até a gravação do Buddy Holly de 1900e...... está melhor que esta.

[vergeharget]

Really nice version. The true test of the song is, imho, the pleading call out "Baby", "my sweet baby" etc. But it's cut off here. I heard Phil do it on a different record and his pleading is sweet and nice and urgent. But I've never heard yet heard anyone do it better than Sylvia, though I'm open eared about it.

Itzik Basman

[bjocelot]

The Beatles stole from them liberally, and quite wisely. These are the masters.

[Khultan]

@bjocelot I thumbed you down for that. You should appreciate it.

[keweisenburg]

The real deal

[theTXMM]

@rockabillydj

I just put up a listing on ebay (listing # 140426088832) for a US released promotional copy 45 (VG+) for this song and Man With Money.  Very scarce and incredibly hard to find, hope you get this message in time before it is gone!

[ile61]

wow these guys have the most magnificant voices ever, and together they are just unbreakable!

[aiencau]

Wonderful, talented singers. And they sing great 'live'. Shows their full talent, unlike todays singers who depends a lot on gadjets to overcome deficiencies.

[TumblingDice1972]

best everlys single

[john111257]

totally brilliant harmonies...everlys 4 ever

[therotiv4]

awesome song!

[rockabillydj]

I am looking for a US 1965 release of this song backed with Man With Money! Did WB ever release this 45 in the USA??? I can only find copies from the UK and Europe!!! Anyone know if I can find the original 1965 vinyl USA release in mint condition? THANKS! BTW-GREAT!!!!

[bikebeerrun1960]

@rockabillydj I can't help you on the "45" question,but those two songs are on their"Beat 'n Soul" album-Warner Bros.-W 1605 . I have A Mono copy.Good luck !

[lyndloo]

[Fluffets]

I gave it 5 stars but I still wish it wasn't cut off early at the end... maybe reupload the longer version?

[wavelinked]

[amabilis77]

I prefer mickey and sylvia, but i love the Brothers and their version is BOSS

[lovekesh88]

woooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

awesome man

music is so great

[Waldo99]

Great harmonies from the brothers as always. For a real treat, check out their song " I Wonder If I Care As Much" as well (you can find it in my favorites). It is another example of their outstanding harmonies.

[TumblingDice1972]

without the everlys there would be no rolling stones,i adore phil and don

[TumblingDice1972]

hit me with this

[Marianvalkyrien]

This was fromn the year i was born,i believe.Check out my videos.somwe of mine have Everly music.Enjoy!

[Rocko671]

Better than the Mickey and Sylvia version.

[thestevo46]

i love this,and 'bowling green',the stones just took off where the everlys left off,i love this video....

[rcbrammer]

The Everyly Brothers were GREAT, no doubt, but this song belongs to Mickey and Sylvia, the duo who originated "Love is Strange".

[thestevo46]

dynamite,keith richards adored them,this is a shortened version,be great to hear the whole lot

[babaradio]

Hot damn, I love these guys!

[straightblown]

[dovermoreno]

Man, I'd give a million dollars to have hair like theirs !!!

5 Starz

[emeraldpegasus]

[staff50ord]

Can't sing like them however.

[dovermoreno]

@staff50ord You, sir are the luckiest man in the world !!! ;)

[KR200pilot]

@dovermoreno I have and I'm 66.......

[dovermoreno]

@KR200pilot Cool !!

[HeyBirdDog]

To learn harmony from the masters, start here: "The Very Best of the Everly Brothers" A+ brilliance released in 1964.

I saw the Everly Brothers bring the house down 3 times in one week in the 80's: Concord Pavillion + Harrah's Tahoe. (Had a fantastic keyboard player then, too.) They were as good as it gets.

They sang on the radio as young boys with their parents. Thanks, you two!

[How not to hear them:, "A Night At The Royal Albert Hall" 8-13-02 should not have released that one, Guys.]

[dovermoreno]

Absolutely one of the best at harmonizing and a very distinctive sound.

Everly Brothers Rock !

[ucanplay2]

Best of the Best.

[laggie24]

Yeep many people take it for a game...they shouldn't...before it's late

[rootedsorrow]

My favorite group. I know the Everly''s have had their tiffs but man are they great ! Wish I'd seen them in their prime.

[calico686]

Gorgeous voices! I love how they both engage themselves in the music. Being so cute doesn't hurt them either.

[youralone]

Oh so good song

The 5***

[19baste67]

the greatest dou singer!!!!!

[0HDizzyMissLizzy]

wonderful vocals - total harmony

[greta080]

[memogt17]

[memogt17]

[greta080]

[memogt17]

[DawnStorm77]

Yes beautiful harmonies!

[rwb010109]

Great song by them,,where is the rest of it? RWB

[rootedsorrow]

You can see it at the Museum of Television library in New York. I think this was from the show Shindig. Or maybe Hullabaloo.

[Waldo99]

It is from Shindig.

[rootedsorrow]

Thanks for the confirmation on Shindig. I enjoyed watching it over at the Museum of Television eight years ago.

[clockwatcher1661]

I remember the brothers in TIDWORTH b4 the rgiment went to Aden,SUPERSONIC MUSIC,Were talking 50 =years ago,still a teenager at heart.

[AGibsonJ]

Interesting that this song was written by Bo Diddley, under his wife's name. [Don was a big fan, inspired by Bo's rhythm].

[Waldo99]

The Everlys could take a song written by anyone and make it sound great. They could harmonize!

[flosspops]

brill song i luv em !!!!

[queenbee345622]

I like this version. :)

[voyageguy]

Merci pour les Everly Brothers de très beau souvenir

[punkvictim]

could someone please put buddy holly's version up. this one is pretty nice to though

[frontlobo]

Holly's used similar riff and melody in his song "Words of Love" and it is on YouTube. Mickey & Sylvia were the original recording artists of this song written by Bo Diddley. It can be heard of Myspace Music.

[harfuch1]

you're right

[Alchy00]

Buddy Holly also performed Love is Strange.

Has anyone noticed the acmee of More than Words of Extrem that is the thema of Worlds of Love from Buddy Holly?

[strandwolf]

How about the Chubby Checker/DeeDee Sharp version.

[50sResearchCenter]

I think there's some confusion with the Everly's preceding single: That'll be the day, which was originally by Buddy Holly. The Brothers are often seen as a 50´s act, but they had a great string of hits in the middle 60´s and provided us with some gems that were not hits for themselves, among them Man With Money (flipside of Love Is Strange, which was in the repertoire of The Who) and It's All Over that Cliff Richard pinched off an Everly album.

[Waldo99]

The years of big Everly chart hits were from the late 50's into the early 60's. They did have some continued chart success in the UK a bit later into the 60's, but not so much in the US. They were primarily a 50's act, with a carry over to the early 60's.

[50sResearchCenter]

The Everly's 60's hits were not only in the UK, but also in other countries, like The Netherlands, Canada and Australia (the US is not "the whole world"). They were not primarily a 50's act, as they were highly regarded when they went into country rock in the 60's with the "Roots" album" and made some beautful music in the 70's, like "Lay it down". They became an Oldies act after their reunion in 1983, I would say.

[Waldo99]

I never said the US was "the whole world", but let's be fair that they are a US act, from the early years of rock and they are identified as such despite their later 60's and 70's music.

[dadski62]

really love this song!!!

[ever9ever]

This Englishman, who's listened since '57, says it.....D & P, too good for 'pop' music...witness their amazing 'who's who' of admirers, in the biz...unique....and what is that third 'something' in that harmony?

History will have it, one of the top ten most important 'pop' happenings....immaculate....an­d check out the later 60's albums, all re-available...and much superior to most of our Brit' pop....

[50sResearchCenter]

It's the Everly's singing along with the record. It gives a kind of "double tracked" sound.

[Waldo99]

Agreed, and don't think they would sing to a track because they can't sing well live as is the case with some performers today. Check out some of their live videos here and you will see that live they usually sound better than their recordings. A good example is "All I have to Do is Dream" performed live on the Alma Cogan Show in 1961. Search YouTube for "Dream". "Everly" and "Cogan" and you'll find it. Amazing talents!

[dkbradbury12]

Yeah, I checked out Buck Owens and Susan Raye. It is a great video. I liked Susan better, though. Wish there was more of her work posted. Thanks for the Everly's posting.

[kiwi2006]

check out Buck Owens & Susan Raye doing this song.....it's very good !

Buck Owens was awesome !!! idgoBack (dot) com

[Chiselnyc]

One of my favorites, for sure.

[AGibsonJ]

I miss your video "gone, gone, gone"... hope the rest of these stay on here!!

[gmagioli]

I enjoy this song, I like so much! make me falling in love!

[xrxs1020]

I love the Everly Brothers for sure, but this is not their song on which to shine. Mickie and Sylvia along with that cow bell and Mickie's great guitar composition, not to mention their voices, make the original hit the best. The Everlys had so many great songs of their own. What harmonizers!

[Shevek57]

I'm glad you like Mickey & Sylvia's original recording. However, from my own perspective, hearing the Everly's version of this song (on the Beat & Soul album) converted me into a full-blown Everly's fanatic. These days I find it almost impossible to listen to Mickey & Sylvia's recording; in my ears it pales to the Everly's--but such is the spice of life!

[xrxs1020]

I completely get your point, and on second listening, I like the boy's version better. I recall M&S on the Sullivan Show. Mickey looked like a deer in headlights. He totally screwed up his guitar part. Funny what one recalls.

[tankerdriver57]

one of the best songs that the everlys have made

[SyncMaster97]

were did you get this video from!

i love it

[zaaritha]

One good version!

[PAULLONDEN]

Beautifullll .

[FAITHNOWHORE]

Buddys version is more haunting and better.

[Waldo99]

Buddy Ebsen?

[GasAndAss]

Buddy Holly. I have one recording he did with The Picks. Did he also do it with the Crickets?

[Rockman60]

My buddy used to play lead guitar in their last band so I had the pleasure to meet them a few times. The kindest down to earth "rock stars" you'll ever meet.

And nobody comes close to their harmonizing!

[Grandmabee34]

oh wow

[Grandmabee34]

I wonder how many girls they have banged all thjogether?

[Waldo99]

If you want to see a great clip of them singing a few of their hits live, search for the clips of their appearance on the Alma Cogan show from Britain... Amazing!

[mazarotti2007]

I love this site!!!

[victorwasright]

their old double LP had a much better version.

[Marianvalkyrien]

I think this was live.

[BobbyVeeFan]

Partially. The backing track was recorded a day or so prior to the shows' taping, then the Everlys sang live to the backing track.

[notiteither]

BVfan,

Actually both the music AND the vocals were laid down beforehand. None of those Shindig-type shows did live...it was all canned. "Live" wasn't in the budget.

[notiteither]

Naw...Shindig didn't do live. ....no budget for it. In fact, I thought the mix was lousy.

[heezabirddog]

are you talking of the most beutiful songs of the EBs? if so this is the self same track taken from the EBs show (1970)

[Shevek57]

Hearing the Everly's version of this Mickey & Sylvia classic in 1980 converted me into a full-blown Everly's fanatic.

[starfishelvis]

I'm Gutted they didn't get as far as " Hey Donald", "What Phil?"! Superb though, I wish I was around at the time!.

[Grandmabee34]

me too!

[wftjet]

What year is this? ~1965? English TV?

[Waldo99]

This was on american tv, I believe on the show "Shindig" on ABC. 1965 or 1966.

[cignis]

The English Language does not have enough superlative adjectives to describe these guys! Greatness beyond words.

[Waldo99]

Very good!!

[GregMcG1983]

Thanks a lot for posting this!

[cignis]

Beautiful
